Routing data between computing entities using electronic data interchange

Abstract:

A system is provided for exchanging data using Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). A transmitting entity obtains an EDI file from a document that is to be transmitted to a destination server and adds routing information to the EDI file based on a first routing configuration, wherein the routing information is to be used by the receiving entity for routing the EDI file to the destination server. The receiving entity receives the EDI file from the transmitting entity and extracts the routing information from the EDI file. The receiving entity determines the destination server from a second routing configuration based on the extracted routing information and forwards the EDI file to the destination server.
